did I mentioned it poured?, the second night we had a lightning storm, no wind but tons or rain and lighting, I got out and moved the blue awning over the trailer to keep the rain from pounding on the roof as it was noisy and went back to sleep, woke up to see my newer awning looking like this, turns out that contrasting band sewed along the front edges had a seam that dammed up the water until the frame did this, my other awning was fine. the hardware store I had just bought it from gave me a full refund
